Sean Hannity: David Vitter Should Resign

Sean Hannity seems to think conservatives can do no wrong. If you're pro-life and think we found WMDs, well then by golly you must be one of the 12 apostles come back to life. So if you're a major conservative player and the ultimate flag waving cheerleader stops carrying your water, you know you did bad.

It appears that conservative commentator Sean Hannity called for the resignation of Sen. David Vitter (R) on his FOX News show last night. While listing several times he has spoken out against Republicans in Congress, he added, “I think Senator Vitter should probably live by the line that he put out for Bill Clinton back in the Monica Lewisky scandal," when Vitter called Clinton morally unfit to govern.

NBC's Political Unit had been monitoring Hannity’s radio show daily after the Vitter prostitution story broke, in hope that the senator would call in to air his side of the story. The radio show has become a sort of confessional for conservatives plagued by scandal. But it now seems that Hannity will not be providing a sympathetic ear to Vitter.
